Additional installation

For native databases, you need to have ODBC access in your C5 license and to install the MS Dynamics C5 ODBC driver on the computer running the RapidiConnector.

Configuration

The fields of the MS Dynamics C5 Data Source Card are described as follows:

• Description: Enter a text describing the Data Source.
• Database Type: Choose which database you want the Data Source to run on (Native or MS-SQL Server).
• Server Connect: If running on an MS-SQL server you specify the name of the MS-SQL Server.
  If it is a Native database, leave this field blank.
• Database Path: If running on an MS-SQL Server you specify the name of the database on the MS-SQL Server.
  If running on a Native database, specify the full path to the database file. For example "C:\\Program Files\\c52008\\C5data.dat"
• Use Windows Authentication (only on SQL Server): If you use the same UserID and Password to access the database as for when logging on to your Windows, you can mark this field. Please note that it is the username that the RapidiConnector is running under, that is used. If you use windows authentication, then the fields UserID and Password are ignored.
• UserID: If access to the database requires a UserID you have to specify the UserID here.
• Password: If you enter a UserID the corresponding Password is applied here.
• Company: Enter which Company you want to use (specify the name) - usually "DAT".
• Schema: You can specify which schema should be used - can normally be left blank.
